Grading rarely pays for this card
Grade 9.5 copies of NL RBI Leaders [Orange Foil] #86 sell for $58.00, only $0.00 above the $70.00 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($52.88) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
